The State does neither. I leverages bullies and poor decisions makers. It is dysgenic, corrupting and useless. I frankly think most minarchists just don't understand the system they're 'critiquing', and pretty much none of them never put effort into the vast technical literature that deals precisely these oft-repeated criticisms. Objectivist government is half-error, half-rationalism - Bizarro Positivism. Or, as FSK put it, minarchists are stupid. Dysgenic? Note to \FSK, stupid is not a word to throw when one lives in a glass house. Just saying.
